http://www.achren.com/2015/achren-return/#commentsMon, 28 Sep 2015 10:47:03 +0000http://www.achren.com/?p=1338We are pleased to announce new drummer, Allan “McDibet” MacDonald (ex-Cerebral Bore). We’ve been rehearsing with Allan on material for the new album.

Writing is complete for the new album and this track gives a taste of the band’s new direction following a chaotic period of rebirth; thoroughly relentless, but still recognisably Achren.

In other news, long time bassist John has left Achren for pastures new. Callum will be taking up the bass duties on the new recordings and the band aim to return to the live scene in 2015.

http://www.achren.com/2013/line-up-change/#commentsFri, 08 Feb 2013 16:24:49 +0000http://www.achren.com/?p=1171As you may or may not have been aware, many of the latest Achren shows have been performed without the talents of Gordon on drums. For these shows, our brother and long-time friend of the the band, Quzzy, has stepped in to fill the drum stool. The reason for this is that, over the last couple of years, Gordon has found himself with increasing work and family commitments, making him unavailable at short notice for many of the studio and live dates that we would have like to have performed.

After our recent tour of the UK, we mutually decided that we cannot continue in this way. Therefore, in an amicable fashion, Gordon has left Achren to fulfil his other duties.

What does this mean for Achren? Well, for a start, certainty. Quzzy has agreed to continue to play drums for Achren both live and in the studio for the time being, meaning that we can now move forward with the new EP and album that we have planned as well as stepping up our live schedule in support of these. Because of Quzzy’s dedication to his own bands Co-Exist and Bacchus Baracus, he will not be joining Achren on a permanent basis; however, this will allow us to perform live and in the studio until a permanent replacement can be found.

We will still be performing at any and all dates that we have currently booked – indeed, we will soon be entering the recording studio and will be booking additional shows when the release dates are confirmed. As Quzzy has been our de facto drummer for the majority of our 2012 Autumn tour, there will be no concerns about changes in the quality of the performances.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Gordon for the many years and hard work that he has contributed to Achren. It’s sad to see him go and we wish him all the best.

ACHREN
(Glasgow)
Achren are the mighty underground kings of blood metal. Currently promoting their recently released album “The Forgotten King”, they are set to destroy the ears and souls of Perth folks for the 3rd time in the last 3 years.

Dubbed ‘The Forgotten Tour’ after the hell that became 2011 delayed plans last year to get a proper tour together in support of our debut album, ‘The Forgotten King’, the dates are now booked. Don’t miss Achren at your closest venue, the next tour could take a while as the next aim is to finish work on the follow up recording in 2013.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that Forces Of Metal 2012 will not take place.

We’ve tried; tried hard, but to no avail.

Certain events, starting in December 2011, have caused a downward spiral from which we could not recover.

We’ve considered alternatives. None of which seemed to do any justice to our initial plans or to your expectations.

We are proud, though. Proud of the bands we’ve booked and the effort they have put into our festival. Proud of all the people who believed in our cause and shared our dreams. Very proud, indeed, of those who purchased tickets, even when things went pear shaped.
Additionally, we understand that some of you had questions and critique when pivotal acts cancelled. We thank you all, most sincerely.

Is this the end? Will there be a Forces Of Metal 2013?
Really, we don’t know. It’s too early to tell.
The dream hasn’t died, though!
